Shadow Blade is a really good item on DK. It will allow you to rat, just don't be super obvious were are you going invis.

Why did the qualifier prediction close earlier than everything else? Didn't want to lock in on CIS until I knew if they were coming and now the prediction is closed.
Satuday 19, probably after the Main Event Lower Bracket matches.

Less than 24 hours to the International 2014.
are you hype

To go SB I have to forego other items.
I usually go -> Soul Ring -> Treads -> Magic Wand -> Helm of Dominator -> Armlet -> Mjollnir -> AC -> Satanic.
Scrap Armlet and go SB?
I really feel there might be some hidden potential here, but DK is a melee range hero that shines with his ultimate that is long range. It really messes up the paths he can take.
How can I watch all of the playoff games
Would be nice if the multiview counted as viewing EACH game (and allowed for drops, not that I'd get one...)

Well, the first game officially starts at 12PM EST, so in just under 24 hours. I would assume the stream starts anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours before.
I have found a single tournament actually going on, the GG Leauge seems to be European B Team fighting it out. Watch as two teams you have never heard of compete to win $1000 USD:

Can't wait for the game to start at 1:34PM
I think it really depends on the communication from your teammates and your team comp. If you think you can motivate your team to group up for pushes every time your ult is up, I like to go bottle>treads>drums>armlet since it gives you nice sustain and good pushing power.
If it feels like you need to be more of a ganker/split pusher, SB is good. If you ult, then SB, you can do your first ranged attack with the bonus damage, immediately stun, get a few more hits and then breath fire. Should be enough to kill squishy things.
But yeah, DK can build a lot of stuff and I think it is very match dependent.
Valve them selves are normally really good at starting the days on time.
Medusa legit op
looking at last nights bb game and realize what a weird abaddon build this was

am I right in thinking that activating blademail during ult is super counterintuitive?

it won't do anything regardless, it counts as healing, so you don't reflect any damage anyway

Oh man fuck Abbadon, I swear whenever I see him in a game. He's not overpowered or anything, that shield is just so relentlessly annoying. Better than Tree armor IMO, at least when it comes to fights
Exactly, it is. I saw a Blademail Witch Doctor last night. Made no sense.
Also I tested something last night that bothered me for a while. What happens if Bloodseeker kills a Necrodude when his HP is lower than the last will damage. The answer? He still dies.

Farming omni is the beeest. If you get snowballing it's great. You kinda have to get kills in your lane though, not that it's hard to do with one stun and purification.
Pick up an orb of venom and lots of levels of your passive and no one is getting away unless your name is dark seer or centaur.

I picked him as my favorite so I just hate myself.
Try to get a solo offlane, but if you can't, dual lane with a stun. If you're solo, harass with your shit until you get 6 and you should be able to get a kill. If you're dual, roll/pull during roll/push should set up an easy kill if your partner can follow up. Pray no one buys bkb.
Yeah, solo offlane is great. Try to get it where you can drop a rock in front of yourself, kick, pull, roll.
Also don't forget you can cast kick or pull on the ground. These will grab the nearest rock if one is in range. You can use this on rocks in the fog too, which is really useful to conserve rocks.

mek and scepter on omni is pretty much gg
The fact that it removes debuffs makes him incredible at saving teammates. I recently played a game where I nullified the enemy storm spirit - shield whoever he orchid/pulled and then force staff them away. Abaddon is a lot of fun to play.

Nothing like a 10 second ultimate against a bunch of right clickers. It's so nice.
Likely August depending on which heroes trend at ti4.

Same, but when I check my profile I can see that they're being calculated correctly.

you guys going to TI4 for the week or just the finals weekend?
Yup, forgot to open a chest because of that and now they are ending in 1 and 6 instead of 0 and 5.
When you stop queueing all pick.

I feel like 6.81b helped a little with Invoker.
But Tinker is really becoming the new trend at my level, I call it the hylian7 syndrome. With some luck it will end up the same way that syndrome ended last time with earth spirit. A nerf to the ground.
